Hello,

I have also a Medion Notebook and it seems that you have the same
funktion-button for the WLAN. First you have to download the modul acerhk
from:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129066

Install it and then open a Console. 
 
~# modprobe acerhk

The following should turn on the led for your WLAN

~# echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled

Now you can make your WLAN-Settings.

It can be (for my Medion 40100) that you need to install the firmware too.

Good Luck

Hello Wolfgang,

On my laptop I have also a switch in the keyboard that is used under w_xp, 
but under suse linux there is no need to use it for my laptop Medion 
MD41300. In my laptop I have a wireless card that was also not regcognised 
by suse 10.0 but in yast you can also search for the wireless card and for 
that you need also the output from the command hwinfo entered as root 
user. 

Did the Yast system  found a wireless card on your system or have you 
entered one.
Can you describe how the laptop is connected wireless and also wired. Is 
there a router /access point involved. Do you have a local network.

The following links were for me very clear:

You know that you never can have 2 active nic's
